Fall Detoxification

 

Do you have low energy? Having digestive problems? Feel constipated?

Have food cravings? You may need to help your body along with a week

of detoxification. A one to two week nutritional diet can reduce the

risk of chronic disease, but it also has immediate benefits:

improved vitality and stamina, better digestion, mental clarity and

focus, a feeling of calm and decreased allergic symptoms. It does

not involve starvation or require eating strange foods, but

emphasizes fresh, simply prepared foods that are easy on the body --

to digest, absorb and eliminate -- and minimizes toxins and

allergenic foods.

 

Autumn is a great reminder to consider a healthy detox. It is a good

idea to detox your system four times a year and the beginning of

each new season is a good time to do this. Detoxification is a

process that occurs within our bodies on a continual basis. With all

the medications, refined foods, additives, alcohol, pesticides and

other chemicals we are exposed to in the environment, our ability to

adapt and detoxify can become overwhelmed.

 

Fasting is one of the fastest ways to increase elimination of wastes

and enhance the healing process of the body.

 

Eating a diet that focuses on fresh vegetables and fruits, whole

grains, legumes, nuts and seeds are extremely important. Adopt a

healthy lifestyle including regular exercise and avoiding drugs and

alcohol. Taking a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral

supplement. Nutritional and herbal supplements to protect and

enhance liver function.

 

Triphala is a traditional Ayurvedic Indian herbal compound used for

constipation and poor bowel tone and is designed to support the

body's natural cleansing process. It is one of Ayurveda's most

important herbal formulas for thousands of years. Triphala is a

balanced blend of three Indian Herbal Fruits: Harada, Amla, Behada.

This combination of fruits is unique because the astringent

qualities of the fruits serve to tonify the colon therefore

promoting internal cleansing naturally. This is highly recommended

for anyone doing a detox program. Triphala is available in capsules

now in health food stores. There is No known interactions between

herb and allopathic drugs. When buying Triphala, buy only in

capsules. Avoid any powder form. No Safety Warnings. Adults can take

two tablets 2-3 times a day between meals. Children under 10 can

take the same dosage. Best used regularly to improve bowel health.

 

Excretion through sweating releases fat soluable toxins such as DDT,

and heavy metals such as lead. Cleansing the pores of the skin and

allowing for the rejuvenation process are all the great benefits of

detoxing through regular exercise.

 

Water should be a very important part of any nutritional program.

Distilled water is best. 6-8 eight ounce glasses a day.

 

Glutathione is an important detoxification compound. Vitamin C is

the most cost-effective way of raising Glutathione levels. Take

1,000 mg three times a day.

 

Taking Silymarin,(70 to 210 mg three times per day) the flavonoid

complex from Milk Thistle is a well-researched way to improve liver

function.

 

Take 1 to 2 tablespoons of water-soluable fiber supplement at night

before bed. Powdered Psyllium, Seed husks, or Oat Bran are

suggested.
